Vincent Cruz is this week’s Brine® Player of the Week, as he led Baruch (1-3-1; 1-0 CUNYAC) to its first win of the season, a 4-0 rout of rival Hunter College.
That game was a tight affair until Baruch opened the scoring in the 63rd minute. Cruz was able to capitalize by countering a desperate Hunter attack and netted two late goals to seal the win. On his first goal, he took advantage of a Hunter misplay and converted a one-on-one opportunity against the keeper. On his second goal, the final strike of the contest, he intercepted an errant pass and again had a one-on-one situation.
Baruch would play NYU later in the week, a 1-0 loss at Gaelic Park in the Bronx.
